The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

Ianto was extremely relieved to discover that Jack's worms were of the earthworm variety, although Jack explained they weren't actually from earth, which was why they were in a wormery in the first place.

"They're from Veltaxis," he explained, showing them to Ianto. "They'd thrive here, but regular earthworms would probably be wiped out; they'd be unable to compete."

The Veltaxis worms were longer and fatter than earth's worms, strikingly striped black and white, and very sinuous. Ianto could see why Tosh found them so fascinating; they were almost hypnotic.

"I watch them for relaxation," Jack admitted. "It's very soothing."
